My hardware
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.90GHz
RAM 1048560K bytes DDR PC2100
ad0: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-00CAA0> [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
motherboard ASUS PAB266-E
I have it with a 4.5 stable upgraded to 4.7 stable with cvsup
After I discover the problem of which I talk below, I reinstalled all the
computer with 4.8 stable, but this was not a solution to my problem.
There are some weird behavior on the file system.
I discover it with the security run output and his heading setuid diffs:
Some files cannot be accessed by the find of the command.
there are some directory corruption on the file system.
for example a exit of it:
find: /usr/ports/security/libfwbuilder/Makefilÿ: No such file or directory
the file exist but the directory is corrupted
if I do an odd -t a on the directory I've got the character FF instead off E
When I am in this situation I can't do anything with theses files , rm find
etc ... cannot find them. There are always an error when I try to access
the files referenced in the directory.
But this behavior is not permanent. I can have it for 15 days and after
that I find again my directory and files ok, without doing anything
Another thing : one time I 've got some rights on files who has been
modified too. In this case it was possible to put the right rights on them.
At last the system reboot frequently ( every month in average ) with
inconsistency in the file system. I must run fsck to repair. Since I am in
4.8 the system always reboot but without inconsistency in the file system.
two error different for the reboot I found in dmesg.boot
panic: ufsdirhash_findfree: free mismatch
and
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
I must say that I have the same configuration on another computer who work
well for years ago.
I don't know what part of hardware is in charge of this problem. If
someone have a clue for me Thanks
